Israel War: What is Jericho missile system? Israel's potential 'doomsday' nuclear option | Oneindia
A recent call by one Israeli lawmaker to deploy a ‘doomsday’ weapon against Hamas and Palestine in the ongoing war has put the limelight on nuclear weapons in the region, namely the Jericho missile system.
This week, an Israeli lawmaker called for her nation’s military to use nuclear warfare in response to attacks by Hamas.
Revital “Tally” Gotliv, a member of the Knesset for Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, posted multiple posts on X, advocating for a forceful retaliation following a surprise attack by Hamas.
The call for the use of the Jericho Missile system comes as more than 2,200 combined Israelis and Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing war against Hamas.

An Indian UN worker lost his life in Gaza after a targeted attack on a UN vehicle in Rafah, marking the first international casualty in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The incident highlights the risks faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, emphasising the need to protect humanitarian workers. Indian UN representative Ruchira Kamboj condemned civilian casualties and emphasised adherence to international law. The attack follows the UN's backing of Palestinian membership bid, with 143 countries, including India, voting for recognition, prompting a call for reconsideration by the Security Council after a US veto last month.

Hezbollah has shot down an IDF observation balloon into Lebanon, raising concerns about the possibility of a full-scale war if operations in Rafah continue. The incident follows Hezbollah's announcement of downing the Israeli spy balloon, claiming it was monitoring its movements over Adamit in northern Israel along the Lebanon border. The group asserts that the balloon's base and control centre were destroyed during the attack, with casualties among the operators. Israeli media has confirmed the balloon was shot down and fell in Lebanese territory. Tensions persist along the border, with Hezbollah engaging in clashes with Israel in recent months, particularly since the start of Israeli Rafah operations, during which the Iran-backed group has used drones against IDF forces. The situation remains tense, with casualties reported on both sides of the border.

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter.

Palestine gains the right to speak and participate in U.N. meetings. Israel's ambassador tears up the U.N. Charter in protest, likening the move to admitting "modern-day Nazis."

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States.

The concerns of current and former Israeli military officials about the lack of a post-conflict plan in Gaza are becoming more vocal. They argue that without a clear strategy, Israeli troops are repeatedly drawn into battles to reclaim territory from Hamas.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's failure to address this issue has led to frustration among some military leaders. This situation highlights the need for a comprehensive plan to address the challenges in Gaza after the conflict.

Abu Obaida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, announced the loss of communication with a group responsible for safeguarding a set of Israeli captives detained in the Gaza Strip. In a statement shared on his Telegram channel, Abu Obaida attributed the loss of contact to the relentless Israeli bombardment endured over the past ten days. He specifically mentioned the absence of communication with a faction tasked with protecting four Israeli captives, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Notably, the al-Qassam Brigades had recently released a video message from Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, wherein he appealed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and government officials to secure the release of captives and consider resigning from their positions.

The US secretary of state Antony Blinken remarked on Sunday that a full-scale Israeli offensive in the Gaza city of Rafah would result in "anarchy" unless Hamas is eliminated. Additionally, he acknowledged that Israeli forces had caused more civilian casualties than Hamas militants. On "Face the Nation," CBS's Margaret Brennan questioned Blinken about whether the United States agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent statement. Netanyahu claimed that Israel had killed 14,000 terrorists and 16,000 civilians in its conflict with Hamas.
